DJ and Ashakran: You are still not getting it. I know the difference between ‘ chhodna’ and ‘ chhutna’. And I don’t have to sere the trailer, because it is not about what he is trying to say, but the mistake in the sentence construction. for that I don’t have to see the trailer . For example if some one says ‘ I will sent you home.’ it is wrong, no matter what the trailer shows. It should be ‘ I will send you home’ or ‘ I sent you home’, depending on what he wants to say. But ‘ I will sent you home’ is wrong.

DJ: You have given an example of ‘ Tumne haath chhodne ka faisla kiya”. That is a correct usage. You can say, ‘ Main tumhara haath chhod raha hoon’ . But you cannot say ‘ Tera haath se haath chhod raha hoon.’ It is either , ‘ Tera haath se haath chhuda raha hoon’ or ‘ Tera haath se haath chhut raha hai”. You can of course say, ” Tera haath chhod raha hoon”.

And you still haven’t commented on the meter and bad rhyming of ‘ …nahin bhooloonga mein’ and ‘ …nahin maaf karoonga mein’. As you can see the second part has any more syllables than the first. So no meter. And the two lines don’t even rhyme properly. Even a 3rd standard student can do better.

Purely from rhyme and meter point of view , the lines can be, for example, Yeh gustakiyan nahin bhoolonga mein”, ” Sapnoka jhoola nahin jhoolonga mein’. The meter and rhyme are now correct.

Of course all these are beyond Aditya.

I really feel sad for Shahrukh that such a good actor wasted his life and corrupted his talent simply because he is saddled with mediocre people like Karan and Aditya.

Precisely Rocky.

You can say , ” Mere haath se uska haath chhut gaya” or ” maine uska haath chhod diya

You cannnot say , ” Mere haath se uska haath chhod diya”

That is exactly the point I am trying to make for so long. It’s so elementary.

Aryan29, the films of Aditya Chopra interests me less than poetry in general and the principles of language.

Suprabh: I will ask my friend here who organizes and comperes a mushaira here held the first Sunday of every month. ( You get some some pretty good stuff from very ordinary people who you wont suspect of writing poetry.) I did leaf through the collected stories of Premchand and Manto, to check if I can find any such usage.

More importantly i went through the logic of the construction again and again.

When you say to FS, ” If I have held someone’s hand, I can leave it too !!” you are absolutely right. Tum zaroor kisi ka haath chhod sakte ho. I have said that earlier. Lekin tum kisi ka ‘haath se’ kaise haath chhiod sakte ho? Haan, tum kisi ka haathse haath zaroor ‘ chhuda’ sakte ho.

By the way, if you are interested in principles of linguistics, you should read ‘ Godel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid’ by Douglas R Hofstadter. He covers the entire gamut of languages, including higher and lower level computer languages. He has a fascinating section on how does one go about translating nonsense verse like, say, Lewis Carrol’s ‘ Jabberwocky’? Hofstadter himself is an amateur translator, and he has translate from English to French from Russian to English etc. It is very interesting because language is what human beings use to communicate with each other and even machines with machines ( intelligent machines like computers that is). And grammar is important, because without grammar the precision of communication is lost. That is why in ancient times, Sanskrit grammarians, like Panini, who were also first-rate logicians , were highly respected.
